The dukedom was officially registered with the regional Parlement on 29 December 1817.[5]

The 1st Duke died on 10 November 1822 at Tuileries Palace in Paris without male issue. In 1825, the title was renewed on behalf of the son of the Duke's first cousin, Amédée François Régis de Perusse des Cars. Since its renewal, the title has been inherited by a son of the preceding Duke.[4]
